Identifying RotJ Speederbike parts

[Laubi]

Not the handbars, but another nice part: In the bottom of the bike a tupperware "pop-a-lot" toy was used - the red part of the toy was also used in aunt Beru's kitchen.

Love the vintage photo…

I haven't seen this shot before and after seeing it, i rethink my suspicion from the beginning of the thread, regarding the handlebar struts to be car suspension parts. On the photo above they look very shiny inside the mounting points, which looks like really fresh cast aluminum. Maybe they were made as sculpted/cast pieces specially made for the bike, as they decided not to use the handlebars from the first prototype, which resemble car suspension parts much more:

I found these, pictured below and they even come in a different version, with the the bend like in the photo of the prototype. Very destinctive are the holes, to reduce weight/gain stability, which are a bit hard to see on the photo

That's not the Fett ESB clamp. Similar but different brand/style.
Proportionally it's taller than Fett's and the arms are shorter with rounded ends.
It looks close to the Maclow brand, but the Maclow doesn't have the inside rounded bit on the top corners (at least the modern ones don't, maybe vintage did). This type of clamp was used in ESB to hold pipes onto the walls of the Falcon set.

I missed the one under the boat oar clamp.
That one is the right size, but the proportions are a little off.

I dug around my parts boxes a bit more and found the correct Maclow clip.
It's the M13 (1-inch) which has an interior diameter of about 1.25". Pipe clamps are measured by the internal diameter of the pipe they hold.
Here's an old pic from my initial research.

Searching for parts i just googled " throttle cable bracket" and found this:

It seems to be for a car and the elongated holes look a lot like the part of the Speederbike handle. The small holes on the other hand, could be for a throttle cable

i forgot, that Maclow clip is also in ESB on the torture table in Cloud City
